Quoting Brian Lingard to Brian Hillis ....
BL> I really wonder how Bell Mobility will figure out someone has a

The local system won't notice until two phones with the sam ESN & MIN are
registered with the system at the same time. Then, as with our system here
in Huntington, WV - it puts the mobile # in the system negative file.
I suppose you'd be okay only having one on at a time, but that kinda defeats
the purpose. Thus why Northern Telecom designed the software that way. Most
carriers still think they make more revenue off two seperate numbers, rather
than one number more minutes. But the demand is there, so I'm looking for
our area to go that route within the next six months.
